Dads are special people, a nice poem for Fathers Day.

—————————————————————

Dads are special people
No home should be without,
For every family will agree
They’re ‘SO NICE TO HAVE ABOUT’ -
They are a happy mixture
Of a ‘SMALL BOY’ and a ‘MAN’

And they’re very necessary
In every ‘FAMILY PLAN’
Sometimes they’re most demanding
And stern, and firm and tough
But underneath they’re ‘soft as silk’
For this is just a ‘BLUFF’

But in any kind of trouble
Dad reaches out his hand.
And you can always count on him
To help and understand -
And while we do not praise Dad
as often as we should,
We love him and admire him,
And while that’s understood,
It’s only fair to emphasize
His importance and his worth -
For if there were no loving Dads
This would be a ‘LOVELESS EARTH’.

Want to hug your father now? Go on, give him a special Fathers Day hug.

I am with you always,
Never have a fear,
When you feel the most alone,
Remember I am here.

I have cried as you have cried,
Many times before,
I have had a broken heart,
Yes, and so much more.

I have known betrayal,
Of the cruelest kind,
So sweep away the bitterness,
And put it from your mind.

And let us walk together,
Through the twilights glow,
For I have felt as you do now,
Dear child, I know … I know.

I am with you always,
You are not alone,
My love for you is endless,
Because you are My own.

And through your darkest hours,
You will find Me near,
Nor will your crosses ever be,
Too great for you to bear.

Mother Teresa wrote this poem – Do It Anyway

People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
